Better Health Start For Life

Please note the Better Health Start For Life Campaign has replaced our previous campaign Hungry Little Minds.

The Better Health Start For Life campaign, led by the National Literacy Trust and funded by the Department for Education, and the Department for Health and Social Care encourages parents and carers to adopt positive behaviours to boost their children’s communication, language and literacy development.

The campaign creates easy and accessible resources for parents, carers and early years settings with children aged 0-5, aiming to ensure that all children start primary school with the recommended literacy and language abilities.
